Being technical for a moment, "America/Chicago" IS the timezone.

TIMEZONE =
1) UTC offset
2) rules to determine daylight savings offset

#2 is the kicker. It also happens to change. [ie - in the US, up to
the 2nd sunday of march, but last year it was 1st sunday of april. #1
is -7 for california during half the year, but -8 during the other.]

As such, if you try to summarize it down to 1 number, you will get it
wrong half the time.
